✦ Synopsis

Two cases of a brother and a sister with thyroid hormone unresponsiveness are described. They had large goiters and high levels of thyroid hormones in the face of clinical euthyroidism. The birth weight of the brother was low for his gestational age. He was also lean and exophthalmic, as is often seen in Graves' disease.
